What Are We Gonna Need?

Skill: Bottom Fishing – 90% or higher.

Marker Rod – essential for accurate bottom readings.

Hooklink Material – the thinner, the better! Currently, I use material with a strength of 18 kg. Fluorocarbon with a strength of 19 kg also shows great results.

Zig-Rig Foam – I recommend purchasing single-colored foams in sizes 13-15 mm.

In-line Lead – match it to the bottom color (which you can determine using your marker rod, an indispensable tool).

Knowledge of Fish Locations – crucial for finding fish in their current habitat.

How To Choose The Leash Size And Catch Your First Fish?

Go to a spot where carp are known to be present.

Set the clip on the marker rod and cast.

Wait for the float to rise and indicate the depth.

Determine the length of the hooklink based on the weather:

Divide the depth by 3 to get x

For lower temperatures:

x * 2.5 = hooklink length

For normal temperatures:

x * 1.5 = hooklink length

For higher temperatures:

x * 0.5 = hooklink length

Make the hooklink of the calculated length and mount it on the rod.

Choose the Zig-Rig setup and install the in-line lead.

Prepare the Zig-Rig setup: add foam and dip preferred for carp in your water.

- It’s recommended to set up 3 different combinations at first to determine the most effective one.

Wait for the bite and enjoy the process of reeling in the fish.

What To Feed, What To Fish For?

Choosing Foam Color

Upper layers: Dark foam (e.g., black or dark brown) is highly visible to fish against the sky, especially in sunny weather, creating a natural contrast.

Middle layers: Two-tone foam is used for experimentation, as it combines the properties of both bright and dark tones, attracting fish under various lighting conditions.

Lower layers: Bright foam (yellow, orange, white) helps highlight the bait in low visibility conditions, such as murky water or dark bottoms.

Setup with artificial corn: Choose foam either to match the color of the artificial corn or in a contrasting color. For yellow artificial corn, yellow foam works well, or you can use contrasting colors such as black, white, or red. I recommend starting with yellow.

Bait Preparation

Use any familiar bait for the dip you’re using.

Try to fill it with a fine fraction: pellets sized 2-8 mm work perfectly.

Add crushed pop-up boilies, which show good results.

Deliver the bait with PVA bags or a SPOD feeder for accuracy.
